▎ 摘　　要

This letter demonstrates the importance of the graphene/metal interface on the ohmic contacts of high-frequency graphene transistors grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper. Using an Al sacrificial layer during ohmic lithography, the graphene surface roughness underneath the ohmic contacts is reduced by fourfold, resulting in an improvement in the contact resistance from 2.0 to 0.2-0.5 k Omega . mu m. Using this technology, topgated CVD graphene transistors achieved direct-current transconductances of 200 mS/mm, maximum ON current densities in excess of 1000 mA/mm, and hole mobilities similar to 1500-3000 cm(2)/(V . s) on silicon substrates. Radio-frequency device performance yielded an extrinsic current-gain cutoff frequency f(T) of 12 GHz after pad capacitance de-embedding resulting in an f(T)-L(G) product of 24 GHz . mu m.
